After Rumi
by Jay RamsayOriginal Language English
Of course we tell each other everything,
That's what lovers are supposed to do.
Can we make a blossoming
With only one pair of hands?
The pearl we are has to be cracked open,
Before it becomes a pearl.
Don't fear your mouth
There's nothing to lose,
Only the cage of your unspeaking...
These words you are brought to
Are another kind of river --
The sweet water that wants
To flow through you like fire.
